KDE has one. Gnome should have one. I can't see it in Ubuntu -- if it doesn't exist, then we should invent it...

A tool to view, set, install fonts both on user level and on system level.

Fonty Python is a nice app.
It's small, it's in python and allows to manage multiple font formats.
Maybe some usability issues should be addressed for including it by default in the Ubuntu installation, but is a very capable application for that purpose.

GNNOME specimen is a very good viewer

Yep, after checking Fonty Python, I also came to Fontmatrix and it is just exactly the thing I wanted.
